Anyone got any Weshisms I haven't heard of? ...as in phrases like..
Who's coat that jacket?
I went outside and there was my bike, gone.
I'll do it now in a minute.
These would all entertain my English chums. |  |

Parts of Swansea, Neath and Port Talbot pronounce wasp the same way as hasp or rasp and not 'wosp.'
It's tonking down with rain (p*ssing it down)
Stop tumbling in those cupboards (rummaging)
Come by 'ere and show me those earrings ewe got in your ears wot I gave ewe last year.
( 'ere, ear, year and the ear of earrings are all pronounced the same as year. ) | | | |

I learnt the word Shunk when I moved to Port Talbot |
Now there's a word from my youth.
Darran's a "shunk", no question.
How about..
"Give that here you are like an 'S' hook" (or it might be a welsh word spelled something like "eswyk" ..I never asked!) - Means; "You are f*cking useless"
"Loving f-u-c-k!" - Means; "Oh dear"
"Shavings!" - Means; "Shiiit!"
"My willy Ivor!" - Means; "My penis!"
"You beaut!" - Means; "You w*nker!"
"Pass me that over here Will" - Means; "Pass me that over here person whose name I either can't remember or cannot be arsed to put any thought towards remembering"....calling everybody "Will" is especially prevalent in Felindre, Port Talbot...f*ck knows why.
"Oh, now, don't get eggy with me...I'll f*cking 'ave ew now" - Means; "Don't lose your temper with me young man...or I will be forced to defend myself robustly"
"Iesi Mawr!" - Means; "Jesus Christ!", but literally "Big Jesus".
"Cowin' lush" - Means; "F*ckin' lovely"
"Is it now..." - Means; "I doubt it / a likely story"
"Shut your clanging man-hole!" - Means; "Shut your face!"
"That is f*cking mewling" - Means; " I don't like how that tastes"
"...she is tamping!" - Means; "She is literally bouncing with rage" [Post edited 16 Jun 2017 1:25]

Does anyone else use bwp? Meaning a big baby?
Or whew? Spelling probably wrong. I don't know how to spell it in Welsh. Common in my family. |  | | |

I often say 'I'm as full as an egg' after a large meal, and as a result now do my kids.
My point being that I can squeeze just a little bit more into the small air bubble that exists. |  |

Not Welsh, but an Aussie mate at a BBQ came out with "I'm fuller than a fat girl's shoes".  |  | | |

"Whew" as a sort of exclamation? Is ringing a bell.
My lot didn't use "bwp".
They used "babbi" for baby and "bab" or "babs" for short....if somebody was being a big baby they would have said something like;
"Come on now babs"
Was in a dodgy band in my youth. If I had my time again I would definitely call that band;
'Loving F*ck' | |

To 'put something by' meaning 'put it away or tidy up' really annoys me.
More valleys really.
My favourite I have heard is "The beer was terrible. It was like making love in a canoe". | | | |

"He's jawing me" - giving me lip
"Llawn fel wy" - stuffed eating. "Full as an egg"
"Wew" - fool
Another one that can be annoying is adding "or something" after a factual sentence.
"John's missus has left him for Dai or something..."
"Terry's got a dose of clap or something...." |  | | |

Trying to think of stuff my sister, mum or aunties would come out with...
"Oh you are hanging!" - Means; "You are disgusting"
"Oh that nappy is mewling!" - Means; "That nappy/diaper smells vile!"
"Leave him alone he's handsome" - Means "That boy is too damned good looking to be told off for whatever misdemeanor he has got up to this time."
"[Insert boy's name here]'s rugby bag is bogging, his dad will have to sort it out" - Means; "My son's disregard for personal hygiene is the responsibility of his father....who is also bogging" | |

Some of the stuff some the males of the family would come out with (not entirely sure these are all specifically Welsh)...
"Now, now, lovely boy..." - Means; "You may be spreading your wings and fancying yorself as some sort of alpha male but you are a mere pansy compared to me"
"Shape on it!" (Usually while driving) - Means; "Look over there, that girl/woman's tits, hips, arse etc. are perfectly in proportion "
"awww, you didn't did you? She's a f*cking munter" - Means; "This young lady you took home last night is not perfectly in proportion and has a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp"
"I'm only saying..." - Means; "Keep your hair on boy I am merely pointing out the obvious" [Post edited 18 Jun 2017 1:17]
